Moore Park – making our city liveable

It’s often said that public parks and green space make cities liveable – but what is ‘liveability’ and why is a place like Moore Park so important?

It is encouraging that liveable cities is a concept that is currently on the national agenda:

Liveable, vibrant cities are absolutely critical to our prosperity. (They are) where the bulk of our economic growth can be found … (and they are) economic assets. (M)aking sure that Australia is a wonderful place to live in, that our cities and indeed our regional centres are wonderful places to live, is an absolutely key priority of every level of government. – the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, Prime Minister of Australia
